ZeroThreat Wins 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for Web Application Security

USA – March 2026 – ZeroThreat, an AI-powered penetration testing platform built to identify real, exploitable vulnerabilities across modern web applications and APIs, today announced it has been named a Silver Winner in the Web Application Security category at the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize companies that demonstrate innovation, leadership, and measurable impact in information security. ZeroThreat’s recognition reflects its approach to application security, focused on validating real-world exploitability rather than generating large volumes of unverified findings.
Traditional security tools often stop at detection. ZeroThreat goes further by executing agentic, attacker-driven workflows that simulate how adversaries actually exploit applications. The platform continuously adapts using interpreter-driven threat intelligence, real-time CVE-to-detection mapping, and zero-day pattern recognition, ensuring coverage keeps pace with emerging threats.
“Security teams don’t need more alerts. They look for proof,” said Dharmesh Acharya, Co-founder of ZeroThreat. “This award reinforces our focus on what actually matters: validating whether a vulnerability can be exploited in real-world conditions. By combining agentic AI with deep execution and continuous threat intelligence, we help teams eliminate noise and prioritize risks with real business impact.”
ZeroThreat’s platform delivers:
- Exploitability-first validation with evidence of impact and exposed data
- Real-time CVE coverage through continuous detection updates
- Zero-day identification using behavioral analysis of exploit primitives
- 100,000+ vulnerability checks with live execution of Nuclei templates
- Up to 10× faster deep testing across web applications and APIs
- Production-safe testing designed for live environments
- Advanced browser automation for SPAs, authenticated flows, and complex user journeys
This recognition highlights ZeroThreat’s ability to move beyond surface-level scanning and deliver validated security outcomes. This enables organizations to reduce false positives, focus on exploitable risk, and secure modern applications more effectively.
“We congratulate ZeroThreat on this outstanding achievement in the ‘Web Application Security’ category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Holger Schulze, founder of Cybersecurity Insiders and organizer of the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. “As we celebrate 10 years of recognizing excellence in cybersecurity, ZeroThreat’s innovation, commitment, and leadership set a powerful example for the entire industry.”
ZeroThreat continues to expand its platform with deeper API coverage, enhanced business logic testing, and continuous interpreter-driven updates that map emerging threats to detect logic within minutes.
